Worldwide, vast amounts of waste are produced every year and most waste is sent directly
to landfills or burnt, which has severe and harmful impacts on the environment. Recycling …

This study presents a comprehensive review and systematic analysis of 116 publications
focusing on the dynamic increase factor (DIF) in concrete, a critical parameter for evaluating …

Utilization of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) can promote the development of green
building materials since it can make full use of waste concrete. The mechanical properties …

Many of the first wind-turbine installations are reaching the end of their useful life, so their
blades have to be replaced. Inexpensive, sustainable, and straightforward recycling …

The hammer rebound index has traditionally been solely and exclusively used to estimate
the compressive strength of vibrated concrete. Its use has recently been extended to the …

Marine environments are extremely challenging for the long-term durability of concrete. Prior
validation of concrete durability is therefore a prerequisite to guarantee its adequate …

In order to study the uniaxial compressive mechanical properties and damage evolution of
recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) containing silica fume (SF) under freeze–thaw cycles …

Improving the performance of the interface between old mortar and recycled coarse
aggregate (RCA) is a hot topic and important to enhance the properties of recycled …

Property improvement is a key process for achieving high value-added utilization of recycled
powders (RPs), recycled fine aggregates (RFAs) and recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) in …

Any variation in temperature alters the dimensions of a concrete structure and provokes
thermal stress. Moreover, the propagation of micro-cracking decreases the strength of …
